We wanted to sell our car.
some people came and watched and they didn't buy the car.
But yesterday and today we get strange E mails in dutch.Let's say that somebody,who didn't study or had a low level of study,do this better.
So in the 1st mail my husband send some photo's and the price.So we think,this person will watch the car.But he wants to buy it.so my husband called the phonenumber and.............nobody answered.But there was also a strange tone on the phone.So I checked the E mail and his name,but couldn't find it.So I put the phonenumber in it.And i found a forum at carweek.and it goes about Nigerian fraud.
somebody put the mail,with almost the same concept as ours,only ending with alex.
and ours was ending with mike.
so they abusing also other peoples names.(really hate that)
So we didn't mail them back.
Today I get a mail of bob manuel.And ofcourse strange dutch again.
We think that it will be translated in Google.
So I send him a mail back with these words.

If you are a fraud,just go away.I don't like people who frauds and I like them seeing behind bars ord worse.I'd better bring my car to the destruction,because there is fair trade for a better price.

and erased the advertisement of the car at autoscout24.
So for you people watch out for the 419 scams of negerian fraud

Yes, this is also a problem here in the UK, when Sandra was selling a car a couple of years back, we had the same thing.

now I'm getting an e mail of this person in english.

Hello,


Thanks for the swift response
I am perfectly okay with it due  to your description, i'm using this opportunity to announce to you that i am just an agent in this sale.
I have contacted my client who is interested in buying and he has responded very positively and i have given him my own price for selling to Him.
He will be paying you with a certified bank cheque that will be credited into your account in 2-3 working days.
He will be sending you a cheque that will be more than your asking price,i mean your selling price to me.
Any amount above your asking price will be for the shipping cost and my own gain/commission as an agent in this sale and will be sent back to me.
As regards the pick up,as soon as you confirm to me that the cheque is cleared in your account,you will deduct your asking price which is your money and send the rest money back to me and i will inform my shipper to come to your location for the pick up immediatelty .
If you are okay with this conditions i want you to fill in the following information of sending you the cheque .
Full Name that will be written on the cheque:
Full Address where the cheque will be sent to:
City:
State:
Zip Code:
Country:
Phone(Home,Mobile,Office):
Last price:???euro
I  am 100% assuring you that everything will be okay with the cheque because i trust my client so much and i will ensure that you recieve  payment atleast in 10 working days.
I also want you to know that any profit i make from this transaction is how use to earn a living.
Delete the advert from where you placed it on internet cause my client is ready to pay and consider it sold to my client.
I hope you are clear with all my explanations about the payment ???
Looking forward to read from you soonest.

and if he can lie about himself and blablabla so can I.
I told him in a mail back,that after the first mail,somebody called on our phonenumber,he saw our car at the fair and he wants to look at it.and after looking to the car,this person sold the car.
and of course friends,this is a lie,but he doesn't know.


Just Like I said,if a fraud only lies,so can I

They are automated as such, you should NEVER REPLY t any email of this sort, and really should report it to the police.

AND NEVER EVER SEND ANY MONEY!!!!

These people are scumbags and should be castrated slowly with rusty skewers. By a blind man with a serious tic.

Good advice Corky!  

By the way we removed our account from the car site.
I think and it's better that we bring the car at the end of the month to the destruction.I don't know how much we get. But a year ago we places a conjunction(I hope that I say it right otherwise somebody say what the right word is)in the car.It cost us 700 euro's.So maybe we get more back if we show the invoice

What a lot of trouble!  

Thanks for the warning.  I hope it works out for you.  ((hugs))

whoooooooooo,today I received no mail of the nigerian scumbag frauds.
yes I hope I lost of them

when I had my business, and scams came, I used to say, "not a problem, send cash, used dollars are OK, but you must send cash only" Funny but I never back...  

When I had this trouble I did not reply to the fraudsters but I did notify the magazine that I had advertised with and they took the complaint seriously.  In the end I did sell my car to a very genuine, lovely lady. I just hope the car behaved itself  

today,I didn't received any message of the nigerian frauds.

O don't know if there is a television program in the uk,who warns and tells you about fraud.
We had,it's called opgelicht/deceved.
Today it a new season starts.
they tell us how it ends with dutch frauds.and of course there was a time,that they talk about the 419 scam.(nigerian frauds)
very interesting.
